AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers)ESG & Sustainability Jobs

AMF is the regulatory body for financial markets in France, overseeing securities, investments, and financial disclosures.

The AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers) is the independent public authority that regulates and supervises French financial markets. It oversees asset management companies, investment service providers, listed companies, and financial advisers, while protecting retail investors from fraud and mis-selling.

Why it matters

The AMF plays a direct role in sustainable finance regulation. As a market supervisor, it enforces rules on ESG disclosure, monitors greenwashing in investment products, and implements EU sustainable finance legislation - including SFDR and the EU Taxonomy - for French market participants. It publishes guidance and doctrine on how asset managers must present sustainability claims, and participates in shaping EU-level regulatory standards through bodies like ESMA. For professionals working in ESG investing, sustainable fund management, or climate-related financial disclosure, the AMF sets the compliance framework they operate within.

The AMF also runs a dedicated sustainable finance workstream, issuing recommendations and conducting supervisory reviews of ESG funds sold to French retail investors - making it a key institutional actor in the transition toward more credible and transparent sustainable investment markets.
